  1. KE70 Wagon Shocks for the rear, in the front you can use 4WD Carib front inserts (can't think of chassis right now), same body size, but 30mm shorter stroke. Or if you want to put a spacer in shock tube, then ST185 GT4 Inserts or AE92 Levin are much shorter.

    Photo below is all captive with 3 or 3&1/2 coils removed all round, ke70 rear shock, carib front

  2. It will be Toughened glass then, which yeah you can't drill it will just explode if you try.

    Is the window flat? if so just draw round it onto a bit of cardboard and mark where you want the holes (you will need to be pretty dead on) and take it to pretty much any glass place and they can send that cardboard pattern off to get toughened so you'll end up with a nice new window with the holes you want and it will have required safety stamps on it for the wof man

    Its legal for us to cut holes in vans and put windows in so i don't see why you can do the reverse of that

  3. Nah it sounds like the shocks are at the maximum extension and are preloading the springs making the ride very hard. When the car hits every bump the shocks max out steel on steel causing the harsh bang.

    Yep you're right on the money there, i put the shocks in it, they're DX wagon shocks & are about 100mm shorter than what standard starlet shocks are. Was real mint when i had it on cutties, but i believe it now has standard springs back in it, & because thy're too long for the shocks they're basically holding them at full extension constantly

    Put it back on cutties, they were all captive with those shocks, looked way better too

  4. Cheers to all for the comments,

    Dat180, There are a full set of 4 formula stars, just rolled one out for the photo.

    mixmasterlex, haha i always see you thrashing that starlet around, that car rules hard.

    Unclejake, cheers for the offer, if you bump in to him then my all means ask the question, otherwise i'll just order one in from japan
